Is Barack Obama buying Indiana Super delegates?
Example #1 is Rep. Brad Ellsworth is a super delegate Unpledged; however he has received a donation from Barack Obama or his campaign in the eye and wallet popping amount of 10,000.00! Will this have any influence on his Super Delegate vote? Was it right for him to accept this sizable “donation” considering the import of his vote in this primary?
Example #2 is Rep. Joe Donnelly is a super delegate Unpledged; however he has received a donation from Barack Obama or his campaign in the not inconsiderable amount of $7,500.00! Will this have any influence on his Super Delegate vote? Was it right for him to accept this sizable “donation” considering the import of his vote in this primary?
Example #3 is Rep Baron Hill is a super delegate Unpledged; however he has received a donation from Barack Obama or his campaign in the substantial amount of 12,500.00! He also accepted a donation for Hillary Clinton or the Hillary Clinton campaign in the generally acceptable amount of $2500.00. Will this have any influence on his Super Delegate vote? Was it right for him to accept this sizable “donation” considering the import of his vote in this primary?
Indiana super delegates have received a whopping $32,500.00 from both the Obama and Clinton campaigns combined. The Clinton campaign has donated a paltry $2500.00 compared to the massive Obama sum of $30,000.00.
From the point of view of an everyday voter this certainly does look like back room deals are being struck or is there an attempt to “buy” super delegate votes from the voters of Indiana? Are Indiana lawmakers able to be bought? Though Indiana voters should not feel alone, this pattern of donations to super delegates is repeated across the country and we will be taking a look at each and every one of them. The voters of this nation have a RIGHT to the TRUTH which the mass media is working hard to enable the Obama campaign to hide from voters.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
Indiana's Rep. Baron Hill has formally endorsed Barack Obama!
Indiana Rep. Baron Hill SOLD To The Highest Bidder?
Well, it smells like a fish factory around Indian's Rep. Baron Hill. He accepted a donation of $2500.00 from the Clinton campaign, a donation well within legal limits and well within historical presidential campaign customary donations. The donation Rep. Baron Hill accepted from Barack Obama and his bundlers was $12,500.00, more than pushing the FEC (Federal Election Commission) legal limits. Considering the import of his Super Delegate vote apparently Rep. Baron Hill did not see fit to keep his vote above reproach instead his actions should give voters more than a pause. Did he sell his endorsement for a $12,500.00 donation? Why did he not return the donation and explain he would only accept donations in equal amounts from both campaigns. Should we not expect ethics and principles from our politicans? Apparently not from Baron Hill.
this can not be friggin legal something is way wrong here

I agree with you 150%. If he wastes money like this not think of the damage Obama will do when he is president. VOTE HILLARY!!

Fact! Hillary, Obama and McCain have been giving money to other politicians for years. In fact, Congressmen and Senators with safe seats and loads of campaign contributions can give that money to other politicians in their campaigns...and the can give even more to the poltical committees of their party...who then pass it on to the candidates.
It's called "building the party". It's how the RNC became ascendent under the tutelage of Gingrich and DeLay and the Democrats are sort of "Hillary-Come-Lately's" to the game. But Hillary has played MS. Moneybags from the day she entered the Senate, and Bill did it before that. And they also handed out positions and insisted upon "loyalty" in exchange. That's why they called Richardson a traitor and why they will call Andrews, head of the DNC from 1999-2001 they same.
Andrews likely saw this website and how you were hacking down sitting Congressmen, some who hadn't even declared yet...and has decided to reject the politics of destruction. It was destroying the Party...but maybe that's what this web-site is actually about.

This is calling it as I see it. There is such a thing as party building if you want to do it above board then you give to the DNC committees you don't pick and choose super del's you need and as a voter I feel super delegates votes should be above reproach and in this case they don't seem to be above reproach. These are facts check the link provided and its a national trend.

If you think UAV is swift boating you have no idea what the republicans have planned. You have been blinded by a pretty face, a good speech and empty promises. One thing I know the republicans have planned is a tactic strait out of Obama's own play book. Disqualify you're competition. They already have the proof they need and are just waiting for the "October surprise" In the process Obama is going to manage to overturn the power base and give the congress and presidency back to the republicans and once again the democratic party will snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. For those of you who keep saying Hillary is driving the party apart, think about this, The party was actually united behind Hillary before some extreme liberals decided she wasn't liberal enough and started setting up their own ultra liberal puppet to challenge the person capable of taking power from them and actually doing this country good. As for buying super delegates these contributions are far in excess of legal amounts but of course the law doesn't actually concern Obama. As long as he gets the nomination. How many Obama lies will you believe? Look for truth and YOU CAN FIND IT. LOOK TO OBAMA AND YOU WILL FIND EMPTY WORDS, FALSE HOPE AND DREAMS THAT EVAPORATE IN THE HARSH LIGHT OF DAY. UAV is trying to spread truth, documentable facts,as many as time and very limited funds allows. I commend them and am proud that they remain undeterred in their efforts in spite of the monumental efforts by the Obama campaign, the press, the DNC and many many others to hide these facts. Somebody has to give a voice to the silenced. I'm glad someone finally is.

Heh........I guess the only way we'll know if Indiana super delegates are being bought is to just sit back & wait to see who they support. If these Reps cast their lot with Obama, then we'll all know something's fishy and I'm sure the constituents will make a big fuss. Not that it'll do them any good of course. I'm sure the reps will lose a lot of votes when it comes their turn to run for re-election if they back Obama against the constituent vote....
Hehe....just did the spell check before submitting this... Obama's not in the dictionary! LOL!
